Today, I learnt the first time Christmas came to NZ. NZ stands for New Zealand. I learned that the first time Christmas was introduced to NZ was in 1642. Which was a long time ago. It was introduced by Abel Tasman. He had the first Christmas dinner with his crew. In 1769 James Cook's crew marked the occasion by feasting on Goose Pye.
This is the story-
In 1642, Abel Tasman's crew celebrated the first Christmas dinner in New Zealand – freshly killed pork from the ship's menagerie washed down with 'extra rations of wine'. In 1769 James Cook's crew marked the occasion by feasting on ‘Goose pye’ (made with gannet)
